Matthew Jones

I am interested in medicines information and medicines safety and particularly the links between them. Patients and health professionals require information to enable them to use medicines safely, effectively and efficiently. My research aims to find the best ways to provide this information and advice, whether this is via written guidelines, dedicated Medicines Information services, the work of other pharmacists or digital technologies.

My PhD was in the field of respiratory drug delivery so I also maintain an interest in clinical pharmaceutics, especially the usability of inhaler devices for special patient groups.

I am interested in supervising PhD students carrying out research in any area of medicines information, medicines safety or inhaled drug administration.

I am involved in teaching a wide range of pharmacy practice topics, especially evidence-based practice and unlicensed medicines. In addition, I convene a second year MPharm Specialised Integrarted Unit on Respiratory Diseases and Dermatology, on which I teach respiratory drug delivery and the pharmaceutics of inhalers.

I am Director of Studies for the third and fourth years of our MPharm degree.
